The Games-Based Method – What It Is & Why We Use It in Children’s Football

A few years ago we completely changed the way we coach at our football sessions. We’d previously had a big part of our sessions made up of individual ball-mastery and ‘skills’ work. In this episode we discuss:

  • What is a games-based approach to football coaching
  • What are ‘constraints’ and how we use them to make sure our players learn and improve for football
  • Why we stopped SAQ at our sessions
  • How to really coach decision-making
  • Why aren’t all coaches using this method?
  • The difference between learning and performing

…and loads more. Let us know what you think and any questions you have.
